The
Lasagna Partnership, one of the original Action Teams of the Remediation
Technologies Development Forum (RTDF), completed its work in 1999. The RTDF was
created in 1992 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to foster
collaboration between the public and private sectors in developing innovative
solutions to mutual hazardous waste problems. Beginning the 1994, the
Partnershipconsisting of Monsanto, DuPont, General Electric, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE)jointly developed and tested the integrated, in situ remedial
technology, referred to as the Lasagna Remediation Technology. The
group's multi-year effort culminated in the selection and approval in 1998 of
Lasagna for the commercial cleanup of a large contaminated cell at DOE's
Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP) at Paducah, Kentucky.
